Making a Change

MAKING A CHANGE A disease is what they say I caught unlike math or history it was never taught... Taking control of my mind, body and soul taking me to the bottom of a hole... Just as cancer or any other terminal illness my health has plundered without any awareness... Drink after drink and doing this thing called dope hanging ourselves at the end of a rope... Time after time losing everything I got robbing and stealing, I even got shot... I'm running, hiding and looking over my shoulder no warmth left in my body and i'm starting to get colder... "Why" I ask myself, "am I living the life of a loser" Handcuffed and beaten sitting in the back of a cruiser... We all know where my story could end I'm given one more chance to try life all over again... I am going to try hard to do exactly what I need to get ahead in life and finally succeed... I'm enrolled in college now and happy as can be not doing it for you, cause i'm doing for me!!!
